By the next few days, Ayen had returned to accompanying the two espers in dungeon hopping. They first cleared the A-class dungeons that spawned in the days of their absence.
Forbidden zones were such chaotic spaces that continued to nurture dungeons if one was not paying attention.
He realized then that being assigned to the red zone was not much different from here; after all, they were pretty much isolated from the rest of the world.
When he expressed this to Devion and Khal, the two did not have much of a reaction.
Devion rested his shoulder around Ayen and remarked.
"Staying here for a long period of time isn't good for you."
Ayen was not like them. While there were some similarities to their indifference to being alone, Ayen still stayed around people and was not completely isolated.
Devion and Khal had become accustomed to seclusion, but it was only due to circumstances. There was no need for Ayen to adapt to a similar situation just because he decided to be with them.
